UNIT 7
LISTENING
Listening is
the language skill which learners usually find the most difficult. This often
is because listening is a receptive
skill, as it engages responding to language rather than producing
it.
Moreover, this skill involves some subskills like: listening for gist (the global understanding) from the audio, listening for specific information by taking into account details or infer attitude(listening to see what attitude a speaker is expressing)

On the other hand listening also has two types like; intensive it focuses the students’ attention
on language form in others words the aim of intensive listening is to raise the learners’ awareness of how
differences in sound, structure and lexical choice can affect meaning. While, extensive listening focuses
on meaning rather than form its purpose is to provide students with as much
target language input.
To sum up, we
can say that listening can cause frustration on students since it is really
hard to develop however there are some tips that can give a hand to students
with it for example; I can give to my students the chance to listen many
sources of spoken language e.g. visitors, CDs, DVDs, other learners this exposes learners to a
range of accents, speeds of delivery. Another way of helping students is give
them authentic material
which contain all the features of real spoken language.
